With the warming weather, many of us spend more time outdoors. But with warmer weather comes the risk of bites from mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas, as well as stings from wasps and bees. These insect bites can be not only painful but also carry unpleasant diseases.
So, how can you protect yourself from mosquito bites this summer?
Solution #1 Carry Mosquito Repellent
One of the most effective ways to protect yourself from mosquito bites is to always carry a reliable insect repellent product with you.
Choose an insect repellent lotion that will provide you with long-lasting protection against mosquito bites (at least 5 hours). Most product labels clearly state how many hours and from which types of insects the repellent protects you.
Apply the lotion you have chosen before going outside on the exposed parts of the body.
It is recommended to choose a product that can also be applied to clothes and shoes without leaving marks or stains.
You can choose a repellent based on essential oils – lavender, eucalyptus, mint, and others, but their effect is very short – about 2 hours, after which they need to be reapplied. Often the oils leave marks on the skin and clothes, so be careful.
The preferred option this summer for insect protection are the Repelex and Calmax series from biotrade.
Repelex is a product for reliable 5-hour protection against stings and bites from mosquitoes, fleas, and ticks. The great advantage of the spray is that it can be sprayed on clothes and shoes without leaving any stains. Repelex has no smell or color, making it pleasant to use and unobtrusive on the skin. You can spray your child's shoes and socks to be sure they won't be attacked by ticks in the park.
The same applies to the baby stroller, which can be sprayed with Repelex spray to repel mosquitoes from your baby during a walk.
Repelex spray protects against bites from mosquitoes, ticks, fleas, and wasps.
Calmax is a cooling and soothing care for itching after bites and stings from insects and plants.
If you do get a bite and itching, only Calmax spray can provide relief. It will cool the bitten area and drastically reduce itching and skin redness in just a few minutes.
The good news is that it can be used an unlimited number of times and always has an effect. By calming continuous itching, it prevents the area from being scratched and possible future infection.
Calmax spray also works for nettle stings, wasp stings, or bites from other types of insects. It can also be used to soothe itching caused by chickenpox, provided there are no broken skin areas.
The two series Calmax & Repelex work in full sync – they protect and soothe.
Solution #2 Wear long-sleeved shirts and pants
Wearing long-sleeved shirts and long pants is also a good way to protect yourself from unpleasant insects and limit their access to your skin. But still, don't rely entirely on them, because thin summer fabrics are not a serious barrier against blood-sucking insects. If they are sprayed with repellent, you can be completely calm and protected from mosquito bites.
Wearing clothes with long sleeves and long pants will help limit access to exposed skin and subsequent mosquito bites.
Solution #3 Avoid dark and calm areas
Did you know that mosquitoes are actually attracted to dark and calm places? If you plan to be in such a place for a long period, try to find a way to sufficiently light the area.
An additional advantage is to have a lot of movement.
Still, don't rely entirely on this and don't forget to protect yourself with an appropriate repellent to be 100% sure you won't let unpleasant mosquitoes ruin your good time.
Solution #4 Install screens on your doors and windows
Take serious measures to protect your home from mosquitoes. They may be small and harmless, but nothing is more annoying than a buzzing mosquito at night and the relentless itching bump in the morning. It's worth making sure you don't let them into your home, which is most important for you.
Install mosquito nets wherever possible – on doors and windows, and make sure there are no holes or tears in the netting through which insects can pass. Take special care of children's bedrooms, as reactions from mosquito bites on children's skin often lead to scratching wounds and infections.
Solution #5 Check for the presence of water pools near your home
An interesting fact is that mosquitoes lay their eggs in water. That's why it's necessary to make sure there are no water pools or swampy areas near your home, as they will be breeding grounds for generations of mosquitoes during the summer. If there are water bodies around you, the safest protection would be window screens.
Summer is the time that each of us wants to spend as much time as possible outdoors – at the beach, in the mountains, in nature. It's the time for walks, refreshing drinks, days off, and good times spent with family and friends.
Don't let unpleasant and annoying insects become an unwanted part of your plans for the beloved and eagerly awaited summer season. Protect yourself with the right products and follow our few tips without worrying about mosquito bites! Don't forget to check out all the products from biotrade that will make your summer a pleasant and unforgettable experience.
